I envision a world where healthcare is easily accessible regardless of the area you find yourself in or who you are, with the use of technology.

Pamela Appiah is a young woman-motivated to always learn more. She seeks to make the society she finds herself in a place full of heart-warming smiles. Being ready to learn continually, she hopes to impact her society with the experiences, knowledge, and skills she has acquired. She has been enlisted as a Mastercard Foundation Scholar at ASU and plans on continuing to give back to her country, Ghana. Growing up in a community where healthcare was not easy to access, she saw the pain people had to go through to receive medical assistance. This opened her up to the idea of making healthcare easily accessible through technology. She is studying Biomedical Engineering and aspires to be a professor and a researcher in Advanced Biomaterials. She acquired important knowledge and skills while serving as a Head of Department for the Topical Bible Study Department of her church and mentoring her junior colleagues to be great students. To advance her expertises in the areas of healthcare, she interned at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for two years.
